RED (2010)
Retired black-ops agents reunite for a brisk, witty, and campy adventure against a massive conspiracy.
After surviving an assault from a squad of hit men, retired CIA black ops agent Frank Moses reassembles his old team for an all-out war. Frank reunites with old Joe, crazy Marvin and wily Victoria to uncover a massive conspiracy that threatens their lives. Only their expert training will allow them to survive a near-impossible mission -- breaking into CIA headquarters.
How intense is RED?
RED is not scary, with light gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and a party watch. The humor runs dry and broad. Rated PG-13.
